Introduction. 



In placing this work before the Chipman Family 
of America I need only say that all items ^f importance 
have been verified by original records or authentic cop- 
ies o/^ the same. At the same time I wish to acknow- 
ledge my indebtedness to the very copious genealogical 
manuscript of the late Rev. Richard Manning Chipman 
(1280), from which much valuable data has been taken, 
particularly regarding the fourth generation; also to the 
notes £f the late Lewis Chipman (1322), and to those 
who have kindly given aid and encouragement. 

A. L. C. 



I 



Origin. 

The name Chipman is of English origin, early 
existing in various forms such as,- Chipenham, Chip- 
penham, Chiepman and Chipnam. The name is to be 
found quite frequently in the books prepared by the 
Record Commission appointed by the British Parlia- 
ment, and from 1085 to 1350 it usually appears with 
the prefix de, as,- de Chippenham. • 

Several towns in England bear the name in one of 
its forms, for instance: 

Chippenham, Buckingham Co., twenty-two miles 
from Eondon, is "a Eiberty in the Parish and Hun- 
dred of Buniham, forming a part of the ancient dem- 
esnes of the crown and said to be the site of a palace 
of the Mercian kings." 

Chippenham, Cambridge Co., sixty-one miles from 
Eondon, is "a Parish in the Hundred of Staplehou, a 
discharged Vicarage in the Archdeaconry of Suffolk 
and Diocese of Norwich." 

Chippenham, Wilts Co., ninety-three miles from 
Eondon, is "a Borough, Market-town and Parish in 
the Hundred of Chippenham and a place of great an- 
tiquity. In the time of King Alfred it was one of the 
finest towns in the kingdom." 

The earliest public mention of the name, which we 
find, is of Willielmus de Chippenham who was chair- 



6 CHIPMANS OF AMERICA 

man of the commissioners in the Hundred of Staple- 
hou, Caml)ridge County, England, and who by the 
order of William the Conqueror took an inventory of 
the extensive estates possessed by the Monastery of 
Ely in 1085. The original record of that survey is 
preserved among the Cottonian Manuscripts and is 
marked "Tiberius A. VI." 

From 1085 to 1567 the name appears in the books 
prepared by the Record Commission and other works 
equally authentic. 

The Chipman lineage in America is traced from at 
least four of the passengers from England to America 
in the Mayflower, John Rowland and his wife 
Elizabeth Tillie (parents of Hope, first wife of John 
Chipman) having, along with her parents John and 
Elizabeth Tillie, come to America in that brave little 
company. And a little further down the line, Priscilla, 
wife of Seth Chipman (18) and daughter of Maj. John 
Bradford, was descended from Gov. Bradford and her 
mother was Mercy Warren whose ancestor also came 
to America in the Mayflower. So that branch of the 
Chipman family descended from Seth Chipman (18) 
can trace their descent from six if not eight of the 
Mayflower passengers. 



73he Chipman Arms. 



The Chipman Arms have in their coloring and 
otherwise enough appearance of antiquity to render 
it quite certain that the picture was made in England. 

The arms are described as follows,- "Ar. a bend 
betw. six estoiles gu. Crest — a leopard sejant ar. 
murally crowned;" or less technically, -"Upon a white 
shield or escutcheon a red shoulder belt between six 
red stars. Seated above the shield a white leopard, 
on his head a red mural crown," This description is 
given by Messrs. Burke as pertaining to the Chipmans 
once residing in Bristol, England. 

Messrs. Burke say,- "The crest or cognizance served 
to distinguish the combatants in battle or tournament; ' ' 
and M. Pory says,- "A mural crown was conferred on 
him who first, at an assault, mounted the walls of a 
besieged town and there set up a standard." So then, 
the Chipman to whom was originally awarded this 
coat of arms was a soldier approved and rewarded for 
his valor. 



'She Genealogy. 

Thomas Chipman was born, probably in White- 
church, near Dorchester, England about 1567; died 
about 1623. He owned property in Whitechurch 
which yielded him an income of ^50 per annum. In 
1775, Thomas Chipman of Salisbury, Conn., caused 
inquiries to be made by Silas Dean or Benj. Franklin, 
colonial agents in England, in regard to the estate, 
and ascertained that it lay as above described and 
that the rental was worth ^500. He was prevented 
from prosecuting his claim by the breaking out of the 
Revolution and its consequences. 

Thomas Chipman married, about 1590, 

who died about 1637. We find mention of but three 
children, — 

I. John. 

Hannor (Hannah?) 
Tumsum (Thomasine?) 



First Generation. 



I. John Chipman was born, probably at Bryans- 
Piddle, near Dorchester, England, about 1614; died 
April 7, 1708. Always brotherless and early left 
fatherless, he sailed from Barnstable, Devon County, 
England, in May 1631, in the ship Friendship, arriv- 
ing in Boston, July 14, 1631. John Chipman was the 
first and only one of the name to seek a home in 
America, and up to 1850 there was no Chipman in 
this country who was not descended from him. 

On March 2, 1642 he brought a suit against his 
cousin, John Derby, to recover money which he af- 
firmed the said John Derby unjustly witheld from 
him^ How this suit resulted does not appear. John 
Chipman was for successive years a selectman, then 
in Plymouth Colony invested with the authority of a 
magistrate, and was often a "Deputy to Court"; and 
he with three assistants was designated to frequent 
the early Quaker meetings and "endeavor to reduce 
them from the errors of their wayes." He became on 
June 30, 1653, as his wife had become Aug. 7, 1650, a 
member of the church at Barnstable, Mass., and its 
records state that, "Henry Cobb and John Chipman 
were chosen and ordained to be ruling elders of this 
same church and were solemnly invested with office 
upon ye 14th day of April, A. D. 1670." 



lO CHIPMANS OF AMERICA 

In 1646 John Chipman married Hope, second dau- 
ghter of John and Elizabeth (Tillie) Rowland, born 
in Plymouth, Mass., 1629; died 1683. There stands, 
or lately stood, in the ancient burial ground on Loth- 
rop Hill in Barnstable, Mass., a headstone denoting 
where was "interred ye body of Mrs, Hope Chipman, 
wife of Elder John Chipman." In 1684 he married 
Ruth, youngest daughter of William Sargent, born 
in Charlestown, Mass., OS:. 25, 1642; died in Sand- 
wich, Mass., 0(5l. 4, 17 13. She had previously mar- 
ried Jonathan Winslow of Marshfield, and after his 
decease she had married, in July 1677, Rev. Richard 
Bourne who died in 1682, 

The will of John Chipman, dated Nov. 12, 1702, 
proved May 17, 1708, mentions his "wife Ruth," the 
children named below a^id his "grandchildren Mary 
Gale and Jabez Dimock, and his friend Mr, (Rev.) 
Jonathan Russell of Barnstable." 

His children were all by his first marriage and ex- 
cept a son and daughter who died in infanc}^ all sur-

man (2), was born in Barnstable, Mass., Nov. 17, 
1687; baptised Aug. 30, 1691; died Aug. 5, 1752. He 
lived in Stonington, Conn., and Dec. 27, 1714 became

was chosen tavern-keeper, March 17, 1715; a lister 
and rate-maker, Dec. 29, 1716. He bought land of 
Robert Burrows and of Joseph Page, executor of Jos. 
Saxton of Stonington, by deed recorded June 3, 17 16, 
a part or all of which land he conveyed to his father 
June 3. 1717. He was one of the early members of 
the church in Groton. He removed to Salisbury in 
1741, settling near Lamb's Iron Works, and was the 
proprietor of a saw and grist mill there. His name 
preceeded by thatqf the pastor-elect appears with nine 
others as a founder of the Salisbury Congregational 
Church, organized in 1744. He was the treasurer and 
a selectman of Salisbury in 1744 and the Justice of the

man (2), was born Aug. 6, 1689; died 1753. He lived 
in Barnstable, Mass,, successor to his father's estate, 
business and offices. His times and himself are illus- 
trated, not only by his wearing garments the buttons 
on which were dollars and smaller coins, but by such 
exponents of wealth and position as a "negro boy" 
sold to him in 1728 by the executors of the estate of a 
late neighbor, and an "Indian Squa" assigned to him 
in 1749 to serve him "Three Years and Four Months" 
becauvse she had stolen from him "On the I^ords day 
the ninth of July Currant and On last lyOrdiS day Six 
Quarts of Rhum of Value Thirteen Shillings and

Four Pence." Having joined the church about 1720 
he was chosen deacon Aug. 19, 1725.

John Hinkley Jr., born March 24, 1696; died July 15,

man (2), was born in Barnstable, Feb. 16, 1691; died 
March 23, 1775. He was graduated from Harvard 
College in 1711 and was ordained, Dec. 28, 1715, as 
pastor of the First Church in the precinct of Salem 
and Beverly now North Beverly, Mass. The Essex 
Gazette, Vol. II. No. 59, contains an article which 
furnishes an illustration of Mr. Chipman and his par- 
ishioners and the general spirit that pervaded New 



l8 CHIPMANS OF AMERICA 

England at that time, 1769. In compliance with Mr. 
Chipman's request the church ordained Rev. Enos 
Hitchcock pastor-associate, May i, 177 1. 

John Chipman showed his love for christian doc- 
trine and his vigilant care to maintain its purity in a 
work which he and Rev. Samuel Wigglesworth pub- 
lished in 1746. The Essex Gazette, Vol. VII. from 
March 28, to April 4, 1775 contains an obituary notice 
of him which is a glowing tribute to his memory. 

His will is dated July 4, 1769, proved April 4, 1775. 

He married, first, Feb. 12. 1719, Rebecca, daughter 
of Robert Hale, born Nov. 19, 1701; died July 4, 1751;

17. Jacob Chipm^n, fifth son of Samuel Chipman (2) 
was born in Barnstable, Mass., Aug. 30, 1695; died 
1741. About all that is known of the life of Jacob 
. Chipman is gleaned from his will which is dated 
at Halifax, Mass. Sept. 17, 1740. From this it is 
learned that he was about to join an expedition, 
aganist the Spaniards in the West Indies, which sailed 
from Massachusetts in October 1740. This expedition, 
under Commodore Vernon consisted of a large English 
fleet with 15000 sailors and 12000 land forces. The 
colonies contributed 3,600 and of these Massachusetts 
furnished five companies out of which only fifty men 
returned. It was a disasterous expedition; the yellow 
fever broke out among the sailors and soldiers and 
hundreds died daily. Jacob Chipman's will was pro- 
bated at Plymouth, Mass., Nov. 2, 1741, which shows 
that he lost his life in the Spanish expedition. The 
will metions his wife Bethiah, two daughters b}^ his

ticed at Rutland and Tinmouth, Vt. "He seldom, if 
ever, counselled a litigation which in the trial did not 
succeed. Under his advice many suits were com- 
promised. Such was his known repugnance to a bad 
cause that if he appeared in a case or one was started 
by his advisement, this fact was to a jury prima facie 
evidence of its justice. When once embarked in a 
cause his energy was untiring." He held many 
public offices in Vermont and about 1814 moved to 
Middlebury, N. Y. where he died.

190. Timothy Chipman, son of Nathaniel Chipnian 
(51), was born in Middletown, Conn,, about 1758; died 
about 1825. He served his country in the Revolu- 
tionary War from 1777 to 1782 and obtained a pension 
which supported himself and his sister through life. 
He died at Berlin, Conn., unmarried. 

197. Ward Chipman, fourth son of John Chipman 
(55), was born in Marblehead, Mass., July 30, 1754; 
died Feb. 9, 1824. He was graduated from Harvard 
in 1770; his graduating oration being the first delivered 
there in the vernacular language. He studied law in 
Boston under the direction of Hon. Daniel Leonard 
and Hon. Jonathan Sewall, Chief Justice of the 
vSupreme Court of Mass. Ward Chipman and Daniel 
Leonard with fifteen other names appear upon "The 
Lo3^al Address" to Gov. Gage on his departure from 
Boston in 1775, as "of those Gentlemen who were 
driven from their Habitations in the country to 
Boston." Mr. Chipman went with the British to 
Halifax, N. S., and thence to England, being "oblig- 
ed to abandon his native land on the evacuation of 
Boston in 1776. Having repaired to England, the 
Royal bounty bestowed on him a pension in common 
with a long list of his suffering fellow-countrymen; but 
a state of inaction being ill-suited to his ardent mind, 
in less than a year he relinquished his pension and 



CHIPMANS OF AMERICA 73 

rejoined the King's troops at New York where he was 
employed in the Military Department and in the prac- 
tice of the Court of Admiralty until the peace of 1783. 
On the first erection of this province (New Bruns- 
wick), he was appointed Solicitor General, and 
continually afterward bore a conspicuous and most 
useful part in its affairs as an Advocate at the Bar, 
a Member of his Majesty's Council, a member of the 
House of Assembly, a Judge of the Supreme Court, 
and Agent on the part of his Majesty before several 
Commissioners for settling disputed points of bound- 
ary' with the United States, until he closed his mortal 
career while administering the Government of the 
Province as President and Commander in Chief 
during a vacanc}^ in the office of Lieut. Governor." 
The inscription on his monument at St. John, N. B., 
adds to the above quoted statements the following, - 
"Distinguished during the whole of his varied and 
active life for his superior al)ilities and unweariable 
zeal, for genuine integrity and singular humanity and 
benevolence, his loss was universally deplored; and 
this frail tribute from his nearest connexions affords 
but a feeble expression of the affectionate respect with 
which they cherished the memor}' of his virtues." 

Hon. Ward Chipman married Elizabeth, daughter 
of Hon. William Hazen, of Haverhill, Mass., and 
his wife Sarah who was the only daughter of

372. Edwin Chipman, third son of Hon. Nathaniel 
Chipman (127), was born in Rutland, Vt., July 27, 
1792; died Jan. 1840. He lived in vSouth Carolina, 
Georgia and Alabama. Going to South Carolina in 
1815 he studied law with his oldest brother, was ad- 
mitted to the bar and practiced law for a time in part- 
nership with his brother. Relinquishing his profes- 
sion and engaging in the erection of mills near 
Walterboro, Ala., he became involved in debts which 
he could not pay. Then, in 1822, he suddenly dis- 
appeared and nothing was known of him by his kin- 
dred for sixteen years. In 1838, in a letter to his 
father, he made known the facts as follows. He left 
Walterboro without even one cent of money, taking 



112 CHIPMANS OF AMERICA 

only his wearing apparel and his horse and saddle. 
He rode seventy-five miles in twenty-four hours and 
stopping in Barnwell District, S. C, worked at the 
blacksmith's trade one year. For the next three 
years he worked at that trade in Hamburg, S. C, and 
Augusta, Ga. He taught school in Barnwell District 
one year and in that year married. Soon after that he 
moved to Montgomery County, Ala., and began to 
amass some wealth which was expended by illness in 
his family. He then began to trade in Coosa County, 
Ala., but was recalled to command the Montgomery 
Regiment against the Creek Indians. Then he be- 
came contractor for construction of a railroad between 
West Point and Montgomery, Ala. The letter closes 
with these words: "When I left Colleton District in 
South Carolina I adopted the name of Edward Cullen 
and am known b}^ no other name in Alabama. The 
object of adopting that name and working at the 
blacksmith's trade was to prevent the possibility of 
discovery. *** It has always been my intention, as 
soon as I could acquire the means, to pay off all de- 
mands against me, to resume the name of Edwin 
Chipman by legislative enactment, which would be 
necessary to legalize my land titles." 

His death was caused b}'^ the recoil of levers used 

in boring an artesian well. Edwin Chipman ( Cullen ) 
married, 1826, Sarah Thompson of Barnwell District, 
S. C.
